About Mr Stephen Dalgleish
Mr Stephen Dalgleish is a Consultant Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgeon in Tayside, specialising in both non-operative and surgical treatments for knee and hip conditions. His expertise includes keyhole knee surgery (arthroscopy), knee ligament reconstructions, meniscus and cartilage repair, patella stabilisation, realignment surgery, partial and total knee replacements, and total hip replacements. He employs the latest enhanced recovery techniques to maximise patient outcomes and experiences.
Mr Dalgleish graduated from the University of Dundee in 2007 and completed his orthopaedic specialist training in the East of Scotland Rotation. He pursued further subspecialty fellowship training in Western Australia through the prestigious Perth Sports Surgery Fellowship program, focusing on sports, trauma, and reconstructive knee surgery. He also completed the Hollywood Arthroplasty Fellowship, specialising in primary and revision knee and hip replacements. In 2022, he was awarded the BOSTAA travelling fellowship, which took him to three renowned orthopaedic centres in North America and Canada, where he expanded his knowledge and collaborated with leading reconstructive knee and hip surgeons.
Mr Dalgleish has previously served as the Head of the Orthopaedic Department at NHS Tayside. He remains actively involved in the education and training of medical students, orthopaedic trainees, and qualified surgeons. Formerly the Musculoskeletal Lead for Undergraduate Teaching at the University of Dundee Medical School, he now holds the position of Honorary Senior Clinical Lecturer for the Master of Orthopaedics (MChOrth) course and has been the course director of an arthroscopic skills course for training surgeons in keyhole surgery techniques. His research contributions include several peer-reviewed publications on knee, hip, and trauma surgery and he was the regional principal investigator (PI) for an NIHR-Funded study on patella instability.
Dedicated to patient-centred care, Mr Dalgleish has treated patients ranging from recreational athletes to international professionals. He believes in an individualised, evidence-based approach to enhance patient symptoms, experience, recovery, and rehabilitation.

Everything explained clearly . I was well treated throughout.
Highly recommend Steven! From diagnosis, explaining options available, and then a successful surgery, all completely flawless.
Another successful surgery by Mr Dalgleish and another remarkable recovery. He's so approachable and easy to talk to. Always a positive experience for me. Thank you
A great experience from start to finish. The final consultation was thorough yet easy to understand, and I felt genuinely cared for throughout the process. Thank you for your professionalism and support. Pass on my thanks to your team
I can't recommend Stephen Dalgleish highly enough. From my first consultation, he explained my options clearly and set my expectations regarding recovery. Both my 1st and 2nd knee replacements went smoothly, and the care from the whole team, from pre-op to the ward staff, was excellent. My recovery has exceeded my expectations, and I'm now able to walk without pain, I'm so grateful for the skill and care I received.
Great service. Explained the problem and the options for surgery clearly.
I wish I had done it years ago. Stephen's explanations of surgery were clear and he gave a realistic description of what was involved in recovery. The experience was excellent and I would have no reservations about doing it all again. Thank you Stephen you have given me back the rest of my 50's... I am mobile and can undertake all the challenges that I should be able to.
Very approachable, helpful and discussed in a clear easy to understand manner.
Stephen is a wonderful surgeon he has a sense of humour and is compassionate This is my second hip replacement and the surgery has changed my life. Stephen explains everything in detail he is very sympathetic and provides holistic care. I highly recommend him as a professional.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Mr. Dalgleish to any of my family and friends who require a total knee replacement or any other orthopaedic surgery. My consultation was on 12th June and the operation carried out on 23rd June at King's Park Hospital, Stirling. I could not believe how quickly and smoothly everything went. It was a pleasure to deal with Mr. Dalgleish, he is very professional and has such a kind and caring personality. His words of encouragement were appreciated and made me feel positive for the future. Should I require any further orthopaedic surgery I would not hesitate getting in touch with Mr. Dalgleish.
